Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lithium accumulator comprising positive and negative electrodes with a minimum thickness of 0.5 mm, separated by separators, where each electrode is placed into holes in a frame, which is a part of set of frames arranged in a stack between marginal covers, with electrical insulation between the frames of electrodes with opposite polarity and additional current collectors between the frames of the same polarity.
  • Using high-capacity accumulators and accumulator modules is associated with a problem of ratio between the increasing accumulator power and weight vs. room available for removal of heat generated in chemical reactions during the accumulator charging and discharging. Any major overheating of the accumulator can result in a fire or explosion. Operation of the accumulator outside the safe temperature range can also significantly reduce the accumulator service life. Maintaining the operating temperature in a safe range to eliminate the above-described accidents requires additional equipment to ensure greater exchange of heat. Such equipment may also be required where extremely low temperatures reduce the accumulator power substantially and it is necessary to raise the operating temperature by heat exchange.
  • the accumulator cooling is provided by the current collectors on cells consisting of thin film planar lithium electrodes.
  • the collectors transfer the heat losses from the battery via an electro insulating, thermally conductive film to a heat exchange plate on the top of the accumulator, which can optionally be connected to a vehicle cooling system.
  • the heat is removed through the current collectors directly from inside of the accumulator.
  • the problem still is in further transfer of heat from such folio current collectors to the actual heat exchange system.
  • the heat transfer is reduced by using an electro insulating film and the heat transfer capacity is limited to a single heat exchange plate.
  • PCT application WO WO2010031363 discloses a lithium accumulator comprising metal frames arranged in a stack, where each frame contains a puncture, in which one thick three dimensional (3D) electrode is placed, and whereby the electrodes of opposite polarity are separated by separators and the frames with electrodes of opposite polarity are isolated from each other.
  • the metal frames allow better heat transfer from the inside of the accumulator stack, they do not guarantee a reliable heat transfer from large-sized electrodes and especially from modules with number of stacks arranged side by side. I
  • a lithium accumulator comprising positive and negative electrodes separated by separators, deposited into holes in frame, which is a part of a set of frames arranged in a stack between marginal covers, with electrical insulation between the frames of electrodes opposite polarity and additional current collectors between frames of electrodes with identical polarity, whereby each frame comprises at least one channel for passage of a heat exchange medium and the channels in the individual frames are interconnected.
  • Each frame contains more than one identically situated hole for an electrode and at least one channel identically positioned between the hole openings, whereby the electrodes placed into the holes in the frames form together with the adjacent frame walls, separators, electro-insulating materials and current collectors the individual accumulator modules and the channels create passages for the heat exchange medium.
  • the covers include a system of interconnected grooves on the inner side, wherein at least one cover is connected to the electrolyte inlet.
  • a distribution board with holes connecting the groove system with the openings in the frame is positioned between the cover and the first adjacent frame. Pipes ending in the holes at the distribution board are located within the passages and connected to the heat exchange media distribution system. Expanded metal or a grid can be used instead of the distribution board in some cases.
  • the heat exchange medium distribution system can include a pump and an external heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchange medium is an electrolyte and the frames carrying identical electrodes are provided with grooves on their adjacent side connecting the passages with the electrode holes.
  • one cover comprises an inlet of electrolyte and the other cover is provided with an inlet branch for connecting to an air-relief valve.
  • the electrolyte external cooling system is used, one cover is connected to the inlet piping of the electrolyte distribution system and the other cover is connected to the return piping of the electrolyte distribution system.
  • the electrolyte distribution system includes a pump and an external heat exchanger, where an electrolyte regeneration unit may also be incorporated into the return piping.
  • the frames have external electrical contacts and electrically conductive foils as additional current collectors between the frames of electrodes with the same polarity.
  • Said additional collectors can be perforated, whereby the electrically interconnected frames with identical polarity form the accumulator poles.
  • the electro insulating material is a plasma coated porous electro insulating material.
  • This material can be selected from the group of ceramic oxides Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , ZrO 2 polytetrafluoroethylene, polyfluoride-hexafluoropropene, polycycloolefine.
  • Both covers are preferably connected to one pole of the accumulator.
  • the invention is based on the use of a stack of metal frames with holes into which the 3D electrodes are placed. It is to be understood that the term 3D refers to the electrodes having a minimum thickness of 0.5 mm contrary to thin film electrodes having substantially lower thickness. Placing the electrodes into frames provides the accumulator necessary mechanical resistance against impact, pressure and vibrations. Moreover, the frames allow distribution and exchange of heat inside the accumulator and also serve as current collectors, poles of the individual electrodes and the current terminals.
  • the external heat exchange medium is supplied into the accumulator by means of tubes passing through the passageways formed by channels in the frames and usually connected to an external heat exchange medium circulation system.
  • the electrolyte is supplied to the electrodes by mean of mutually connected passages and grooves in the frames.
  • the electrolyte media is of the same type as present in the electrodes, separators and the distribution system.
  • the entire accumulator stack can be situated in a casing and connected to an external heat exchange media (electrolyte) distribution system.
  • marginal covers with grooves, distribution boards with holes, and frames with distribution grooves or porous ceramic or metal layer render additional means ensuring perfect filling up of the accumulator by the electrolyte as well as the replacement and degassing thereof.
  • Integration of an electrolyte regeneration unit and a cleaning filter further enhance the service time of the electrolyte and consequently increase the life of electrodes and accumulator as a whole.
  • the compact configuration of such effectively cooled modules enables to construct an accumulator with an optimal distribution of its volume between the frames, cooling system and electrode capacity, achieving the specific capacity of at least 250 Wh/liter, when using conventional active materials for electrodes, such as NMC (LiCo 1/3 Mn 1/3 Ni 1/3 O 2 ) and graphite.

  • Fig. 10 shows a simple version of the accumulator where the accumulator does not have an external heat exchange media distribution system, electrolyte container and housing.
  • the housing of the accumulator is defined only by outer surfaces of the frames 3 and the covers 1c, 1d.
  • the accumulator is cooled by natural circulation of the heat exchange medium, along the large area of metal frames 3.
  • the removal of heat from the inside of the accumulator is happening through the circulation of electrolyte between electrodes 4a. 4b in openings 31, passages 34 and covers 1c, 1d due to the differences between temperatures in various parts of the accumulator 31.
  • the cover 1d is connected to the inlet 12 for electrolyte fill up and the cover 1c is provided with inlet branch 16 for connection to a gas release valve (not shown).
  • the covers 1c, 1d can also be provided with cooling fins.
  • This simplified version is suitable for accumulators of lower power, producing smaller heat losses, for example starter accumulators.
  • the invention can be used for construction of high-capacity energy storage accumulators and accumulators with high safety for use in vehicles exposed to extreme thermal conditions, shocks and vibrations.
